Genny - Geneside Lyrics

I was just a small kid, living in a big town
Never really new that all of this depression would've come around
I tried to make a sound but my tongue was stapled to the ground
I was just a peasant but I knew I had to get the crown
I started rapping at the age of just fourteen
All my friends told me I had to chase my dream
My parents told me I should go and get a degree
Can't be a slave to the system, naive it would seem
I started making beats and I started making heat
A light bulb lit up, I got out of my seat
I told my friends I'd be big, one day you will see
They could tell that I was passionate, it seemed they agreed
Then they started vanishing, my mental started panicking
I guess they didn't see that I wanna be dynamic and
That's when I caved and started trafficking
Every single beat just to get me on my feet

So put your hands high if you see me on the rise
Go ahead and lie if you think that it applies
I'd go up to the sky if you think that it be wise
But I think it's no surprise I ain't like the other guys
So keep your hands low if you skippin' on my show
I just wanna glow and start melting all the snow
If you f*ckin' with my flow stick around and watch me blow
But imma take it slow, it's the only way I know

Fast forward 6 months and I'm rapping in a basement
I'm talking to the people and I tried to make a statement
Everybody knew it was more than entertainment
I wanna be an icon, solid like the pavement
We had one song that did well, it was called Picture Perfect
But everybody knows, I ain't picture perfect
I think I rushed things and I made my flicker urgent
Come to realize I had made a quicker serpent
I inflicted myself with the venom
3 Years we gon' get em
4 Years have passed and I branded my own weapon
I know I gotta use it I just gotta build momentum
Give me some time we gon' get em Armageddon
Now we moved cities and we sleepin on the couch
No job no diploma, confidence is slouched
I know that I can do it, with you or without
Tryna buy my mom a house and tryna make my daddy proud

So put your hands high if you see me on the rise
Go ahead and lie if you think that it applies
I'd go up to the sky if you think that it be wise
But I think it's no surprise I ain't like the other guys
So keep your hands low if you skippin' on my show
I just wanna glow and start melting all the snow
If you f*ckin' with my flow stick around and watch me blow
But imma take it slow, it's the only way I know

Yea. Yo I'm going back in

Let me get on a deeper level
My brain is like super special
But I warn you to be gentle
Cause I boil like a kettle
I'm just like you
Walking down the same road
Converse with the same holes
I think I need a new soul
You see, that was a play on words
That's just how my brain works
So I put it into this verse
I'm trying to be diverse
Where's the button, reverse
That line just feels coerced
I think I need a nurse so I can cure this damn curse

So put your hands high if you see me on the rise
Go ahead and lie if you think that it applies
I'd go up to the sky if you think that it be wise
But I think it's no surprise I ain't like the other guys
So keep your hands low if you skippin' on my show
I just wanna glow and start melting all the snow
If you f*ckin' with my flow stick around and watch me blow
But imma take it slow, it's the only way I know
So put your hands high if you see me on the rise
Go ahead and lie if you think that it applies
I'd go up to the sky if you think that it be wise
But I think it's no surprise I ain't like the other guys
So keep your hands low if you skippin' on my show
I just wanna glow and start melting all the snow
If you f*ckin' with my flow stick around and watch me blow
But imma take it slow, it's the only way I know, yo
